Chevy Colorado Trailering Package Options

Besides this truck’s capable powertrain, another component that’s key to your successful hauling jobs is the factory-installed Trailering Package. This package establishes the framework for safe towing on Texas highways and includes:

• A heavy-duty 2-inch receiver hitch
• A 7-wire electrical harness and 7-pin sealed connector for seamlessly connecting your trailer’s lights and brakes to your vehicle
• An integrated trailer brake controller connection

There’s also an upgraded version, the Advanced Trailering Package, which unlocks the truck’s maximum potential. It includes 2 additional high-tier features: the comprehensive In-Vehicle Trailering App and an automatic locking rear differential for superior low-traction handling when backing up down boat ramps or navigating mud.

Beyond raw structural engineering, you’ll find cutting-edge digital technology designed to make trailering around Lumberton and Orange effortless. These features will get you hitting the road in no time, simplify solo hitch alignments, and remind you of any upcoming routine maintenance tasks. Check out some examples here:
